The Pointer Sisters did a video for the song "I'm So Excited" that originally included a sequence of one Pointer sister rising from a bubble bath, whereupon her towel crept up high enough to provide a clear and unmistakable "beaver shot"...this was no furtive "well, maybe" glimpse of a shadowy crotch-zone, forested only by my fervid imagination.
NO... this was a slo-mo unveiling of real live popstar cho-cha, against suspiciously appropriate lyrics. I mean someone had to know this went out, but damned if it ever got mentioned.
I saw it on MTV one afternoon and spit coffee through my nose. Got wood, too. Told everyone. Nobody believed me. I then recorded hours of MTV content, later fast-forwarding in search o' the snatch. Nada. The video - a big hit at the time, mind you - had vanished. Eventually it reappeared, and lo: no punani. Branded a liar and a cad, I fell apart. A pariah. A broken man. Someone had indeed noticed it, and nothing was ever said. The scissors snipped; history was rewritten.
Years anon, wandering through the internets for some reference... screen capture... ANYTHING that would prove my claim, I still "came up dry" (unlike that succulent Pointer) Every retelling of the tale met with little more than scorn.
I thought I was the only asshole who ever noticed this (well, obviously not, but I mean, outside of the record label, etc).
Mind you, nowadays young female celebrities routinely flash box. Not so in the early 80s... and never, ever on basic cable. So I finally found it on the blessed resource called YouTube. Imagine my glee. A look through the comments confirms that others have noticed the flash. Tears fill my eyes... I'm... I'm not alone after all.
So I captured and edited the pertinent sequence from the pre-and-post-edit versions. Tried to post it here, but the original version will not "show." I suspect censorship. Fascist fuckers.
Anyway, I can easily imagine some unfortunate Google search leading some douchebag to my blog, and then there goes the whole thing... all my archives gone on account of some classic semi/secret yoni footage. No way, jack.
We are, then, reduced to using links. Check right before the chorus, about a minute in: HERE .
And to see the edited version, you can look at THIS . I hope the Youtube posting of the original clip lasts, otherwise, come over sometime and I'll show you.
Thank you for sharing my wonder and delight. My moment of vidvindication as well. I think this breakthrough might well result in the arrival of the change our nation so desperately needs.
